<P>For me it has never worked for very long. Last year, my Sim got the trait and I think it worked for about 4 weeks. Much later, his partner got the trait which worked for maybe 2 weeks. They moved when children came and they again got it but only once. I had long forgotten about it when I added mods to my game, but I had just figured it was a temporary thing anyway. Now I'm wondering. It would be nice to know how it's really supposed to work.</P>Fri, 22 Mar 2019 01:49:49 GMTSimberella2019-03-22T01:49:49Z[FIXED] Sims not receiving their Shrewd trait moneyhttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/7591600#M85801

<LI>My sims are no longer receiving money from the shrewd trait. I kept waiting hoping that they’ll receive their money but nothing.I had a sim in the acting career and I decided to retire that sim. Even after that sim’s death i still didn’t receive any money from the shrewd trait. I even added a new sim &nbsp;with the shrewd trait to my household, nothing changed. The sim’s weekly retirement pension was 0 simolians.Maybe the bug is not occurring from that sim, maybe it’s from the new patch.I forgot to mention but after one of my sims aged up to a young adult I sent him to Selvadorada to collect artifacts and while on vacation I haven’t received any money. I constantly had to pay the bills and no money was coming from the shrewd trait. (I am sorry for any grammar or spelling errors)</LI>

I should add that no, it's not related to you retiring from the acting career, as I have never yet had a Sim enter that career. At least one of my Sims has made all of her money through painting, and her Shrewd trait doesn't work either.Thu, 28 Feb 2019 06:16:55 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/7593305#M85821MiaSkywalker12019-02-28T06:16:55ZRe: Sims not receiving their Shrewd trait moneyhttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/7593823#M85830

<P>Like other users in this topic, I have the same problem, too. Forcing removing and re-adding the Shrewd (Invested) trait does not solve the issue. I've created a fresh new save game, completed the aspiration goals, received the Shrewd trait. After actively playing for 3 sim weeks with the trait, I have received the money only once. Didn't receive the money at all after that. With my other save, I have received like 1 or 2 times within 10+ (sim) weeks played after the 1.50.67.1020 update. Looks like either the time tracking or something else related to the trait is broken.</P>Thu, 21 Mar 2019 00:43:17 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/7711394#M87076Sionnaich2019-03-21T00:43:17ZRe: [NEEDS INPUT] Sims not receiving their Shrewd trait moneyhttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/7716462#M87131

<P>I am definitely having this issue. I hadn't played much since before Christmas, and then started to get back into it in March. Well, I started noticing all.of my families aren't receiving payment, and I mean ALL. 100% of my families have this reward. Well, I noticed as well after the patch that I am no longer receiving interest in any of my households, and they are all pretty reliant on the interest.

<LI-USER uid="15719109" login="SimQARobo"></LI-USER>, My question is I wonder if it has to do with having more than one bank account, like Get To Work the Shrewd trait wouldn't know where to put the money because if sim has a retail store you have two accounts accessible all the time. The Shrewd trait gives you a payment that is equal to your bank balance every 7 days. If this is the case this could effect not only Get To Work, but Dine Out, I don't know if the Pet Clinic has its own account. Also Get Famous could also be affected with the Safe room as it acts as a hidden bank account on lot that sims can woohoo in. Also the Jungle Adventure moodlets can affect it also any blessing with money could effect it.Wed, 05 Jun 2019 06:20:42 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/7919922#M90984Sid1701d92019-06-05T06:20:42ZRe: Sims not receiving their Shrewd trait moneyhttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/7927543#M91098

<P>I'm having the same issue on PS4. I have every single add-on, game pack, expansion pack, stuff pack, etc. that exists for the PS4 version of the game. I also have the latest update (version 1.17). I started a brand new game about a week ago and achieved the shrewd trait for my main Sim yesterday. He has since completed a few in-game weeks without having received any money. I know this trait used to work on the PS4, as I&nbsp;had achieved it for every member of a 4-adult household and every one of them brought in their share of profit ever game week. The only thing I have done that I had not done in previous playthroughs was to complete the Hero of Stangerville aspiration, although I completed it the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration first and still did not see any of my Sim's investments come through.</P>Thu, 01 Aug 2019 01:28:25 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/8064274#M99662Ka-BOOM_theFirst2019-08-01T01:28:25ZRe: [OPEN] Sims not receiving their Shrewd trait moneyhttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/8064663#M99673
<P>All I could find was: traits adds hidden Invested buff, buff adds Interest Check Timer commodity, once commodity decayed (after 7 days) another buff (Give Interest Check) comes into action which resets the timer to max and adds some money to your household. There's nothing removing the GIC buff afterwards but maybe this isn't even neccessary.

<P>I understand it was a small update and it may not have been on the manifest but "Shrewd" still isn't working after the "October 3rd update" ... for me at least, happy if it is working for others. <img id="eastandard_smile" class="emoticon emoticon-eastandard_smile" src="https://answers.ea.com/html/images/emoticons/ea_standard_smile.png" alt="Standard smile" title="Standard smile" /></P>Sat, 05 Oct 2019 05:53:32 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/8282811#M106881Jaelk2019-10-05T05:53:32ZRe: [OPEN] Sims not receiving their Shrewd trait moneyhttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/8333299#M107733

<P>Still no money from Shrewd trait. Is this being worked on?&nbsp;</P>Tue, 05 Nov 2019 17:42:13 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/8389398#M108588RLHeacock2019-11-05T17:42:13ZRe: [OPEN] Sims not receiving their Shrewd trait moneyhttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/8423729#M109460
<P>It used to be that when playing with other households I'd get messages from the household with a Shrewd-traited Sim.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Now when I started playing again recently this stopped happening, I was glad at first, thinking they fixed getting messages from other households but now found out the whole thing just doesn't work anymore.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>It's like stuff gets broken at a faster pace than they can fix it.</P>Thu, 14 Nov 2019 14:03:15 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/8423729#M109460Gellyzar2019-11-14T14:03:15ZRe: [OPEN] Sims not receiving their Shrewd trait moneyhttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/8462944#M112150
<P>This still appears to be bugged. Seems like the patches have done a number on this game. I've been encountering numerous bugs that never used to be an issue. I completed the fabulously wealthy aspiration and my sim never received the benefit. It seems they are more worried about producing new content then maintaining the original.&nbsp;</P>Sat, 23 Nov 2019 05:13:22 GMThttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/8462944#M112150melrlc2019-11-23T05:13:22ZRe: Sims not receiving their Shrewd trait moneyhttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-Sims-not-receiving-their-Shrewd-trait-money/m-p/8533450#M115085

<P>Sims with the Shrewd reward trait weren’t as shrewd as they thought they were. We have restored their shrewd’ness and they should now actually receive the money they so rightfully shrewded away at the end of each week.<BR />○ We blame it on bad investments, the cd market apparently didn’t mean compact discs</P>
